63°Availability
Cam Akers rushed for 42 yards and a touchdown in nine carries in the Texans 23-20 win over the Bills. He caught 2-of-3 targets for five yards.
Fantasy Impact
Akers found the end zone on a 15-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to give Houston the lead. With Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce close to returning, Akers will likely see his playing time dip soon. Akers and the Texans will take on the Patriots in Week 6.
Cam Akers tallied 53 rushing yards on 13 carries in the Texans' 24-20 win over the Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
Akers drew the start with Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce sidelined with injuries. Akers' fantasy value will drop once Pierce and Mixon return, which could be in Week 5 against the Bills.
Cam Akers rushed the ball nine times for 21 yards and caught one pass for eight yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
Akers got the start for the Texans on Sunday with Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) both unavailable to play. He wasn't able to put up a good game, however, as he totaled less than 30 yards over the course of the afternoon. With Mixon set to return to the lineup soon, fantasy managers shouldn't hold out much hope that Akers will be a valuable pickup.
Cam Akers may be the starter for the Texans on Sunday if Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) are unable to play.
Fantasy Impact
Akers is trending towards starting for the Texans on Sunday. Both Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) have yet to practice this week, and Akers has been prepping to be the starter all week now. If he ends up starting, he could be worth streaming in some league formats, but fantasy managers should keep expectations tempered for the 25-year old.
Cam Akers rushed the ball seven times for 32 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Chicago Bears.
Fantasy Impact
Akers saw a good amount of work on Sunday night with Dameon Pierce (hamstring) unable to play for the Texans. He did lose a fumble at one point, but he also led the team in rushing yards and was their most efficient back. He isn't likely to have any fantasy relevance this year, but it's quite possible that we will see a bigger role from him moving forward.
